Head Start Families are Diverse in Family Structure


    The range of well-represented family types included:
    • Dual-parent families,
    • Single-parent families where the caregivers were never married,
    • Single-parent families where the caregiver was widowed, divorced, or separated, and
    • Families that were blended.
    • Almost one half of all parents were married,
    • Less than one half of the children lived with both their mother and father,
    • One third of the households were mother-only, and
    • Two or more adults were present in just under three quarters of the households.
